Adios Rice.DExey!

Last night the East bound train
was several hours late. The Rice
Dixey AdoaiS party was booked to go
on it. Pending its arrival these
charming gentlemen made their
friends short visits. And think not
they have no friends hereabouts be-
cause they were strangers
here last Monday morning.
The two gentlemen leave behind
them about round thousand mourn
ing friends. They have captivated
all hearts. Sidney Lacey is the chief
of the mourners. He has laughed
the buttons off his vest nightly over
''It is English, you Know" and the
take off on Irving. The HERALD Office
was one of the l,laces favored by a
visit from Mr.. Rice and his "Adonis'
well, Dixey's heart at least is not
marble. And both Rice and Dixey
are charmed with Los Angeles. They
will return probably more than once
during the next year to favor the peo-
pie with a little fun.

A TRAGEDY AT SEA.
A Japanese Sailor KILLED by Has
Superior.

Captain VI. L. Hawes, OF Philadel-
phia, commander OF the bark Free
man, which arrived from the East
Indies, has been arrested on the
charge of killing one of his seamen.
The bark sailed from Philadelphia
last year for Yokohama, and on his
arrival at that port for some reason
the crew was discharged and another
one shipped. The new seamen, with
the exception of the steward. were all
natives of Japan. Among the num-
Der was Katudaka kitunatsu, we'll
built young fellow. After the cargo
brought from Philadelphia was dis
charged. Captain Hawes set sail for
Cuba, where he was to receive
part of cargo for Boston parties.
After being few days out from Gu
ba, kitunatsu began to act badly and
and became very insolent, and paid
no attention to the orders of Captain
Hawes. At o'clock in the morning
of August 9Th, both men happened to
meet in the cabin. The Captain then
told Kitanatsu that he had stood his
insolence as long as he cared to, and
that he must obey orders. The Jap
anese LETT the cabin very angry and
went on deck. There after some hot
words had passed between
them, the Captain slapped the
seaman in the face. In an
instant the japanese sprang at him
like tiger. He seized the Captain
around the body and made adesperate
attempt to throw him overheard. At
one time he nearly succeeded, and but
for the Captains hold of rope his
body would now probably be at the
bottom of the sea. The Captain, see
ing that the seaman was getting the
better Of him, yelled for the colored
steward, who came to his assistance,
and after considerable trouble sue
ceeded in getting the infuriated Japa-
nese away.
Kitunatsu then walked forward and
entered the forecastle. The captain,
fearing that the other seamen might
take sides with Kitunatsu, sent the
steward after the Japanese with in
structions to tell him to come on deck |
at once. The steward did as directed,
but the seaman sent back word that
he would not come out. With revol- |
yer in hand the captain went to the
forecastle and knocked at the door
three times. In response to each
knock the Japanese answered
in a harsh tone, Come in"
but the captain did not 60 in. Instead
he looked through the window and
saw the sailor standing near his berih |
with his right hand behind him, as if |
he had some weapon in it. The cap
tain then pulled open the door, and |
as he did so, the Japanese rushed at |
him with his right hand lifted in the
air. 1t being dark at the time. the
captain supposed the man had a knife
in his hand, and shot him. The bul.

Last Tuesday A. w. Hall swore out
a warrant before Judge Taney for the
arrest OF Henry kegel. The plaintiff
alleges that as he was on his way
home last Tuesday Kegel fired at him
from behind rock where he had
been lying in wait for him. One ball
hit Hall in the hand, making a pain
fnl but not dangerous wound. Hall
returned several shots from his re-

his assailant. Hail further alleges
that Kegel threatened to kill him.

TOWNSHIP VS.. THE DISTRICT.

An Interesting Topic of Discussion
BY the American Institute of I'm
structiOm.
BURLINGTON, VT, July 5.-The fifty
eighth annual meeting of the American In
stitute of Instruction was called TO order at
the Howard Opera House by J. Milton Hall,
who presided. The institute is the Oldest
chartered association of teachers and school
officers in the United States, probably the
Oldest in the world, its birth dating back to
March Is, 1880. Since 1880 session has
been held each year at more than thirty diff
ferent places. To-night's immense gathering
was first welcomed to the State by His Ex-
cellency Governor Ormsbee in few well
chosen words. President Hall replied. The
institute has met five times before in Yer
mont. He spoke of Vermont as the only
State east of the father of waters which ever
claimed to be an independent nation, and re-
ferred to the part it took in the civil war. Of
the men of letters whom Vermont had pro-
duced he referred especially to George
P. Marsh and John G. SAKE. The
had sent forth to occupy and adorn
every position in life had few equals and
fewer superiors and the present indicates
very clearly that her race of statesmen is not
extinct. The president closed by thanking
the Governor on behalf Of the institute for
his pleasant welcome. On behalf of the city
Mayor W. w. Henry then welcomed the
teachers to the Inequalities of Burlington
and President Hall again responded. Hon.
Walter E. Howard Of Fair Haven, VT, ad-
the district syS schools u arguing v in
favor of the former. When the country was
new and settlements scattered and the town
government uniformed or imperfect, when
roads were few and communications be-
tween neighborhoods difficult the school
district like the highway district was a val
these districts were thickly inhabited as
they afterward became, and the school
houses were full of children, the good con-
tinued and the evils of the system did not
show themselves as at the present day when
these conditions are in a measure changed.
The chief advantages of the town system of
schools are the adaptation Of school oppor-
tunities to the needs of the community; the
dispersion of an array of useless and often
incompetent school officers the gifts of equal
and uniform educational advantages
to all; the prevention of district
better and more permanent
teachers, better school houses, apparatus
and books of reference. Objections to
5he town system are chiefly grounded in that
New England conservative spirit that OBJ
poses all change because it is change. The
opponents are usually small men who fear
axes will be increased, who think the cause
Unpopular and are mere demagogues. To
his list must be added the over-cautious
honest men who are SO conservative that
hey sometimes surrender the kernel for the
AXE of the shell. The town system is either
good or bad. If bad the legislature should
rush it altogether; if good the lawmakers
hould have pluck enough to make it gene
al law instead of Sinking the responsibility
lpon the towns. At the conclusion of Mr..
Towards address the meeting adjourned

THE WHOLE TOWN DESTROYED

A disappointed Liquor Dealer Applies
the Torch to Clarendon and Scarcely
a Building Is Left Standing.
ERIE, Pa, July 5.-The town of Clarendon
in the upper oil country and on the Philadel-
phia and Erie road was almost wiped out by
a conhagration last night. Over one hun
dred business houses and dwellings, includ-
ing Weaver's hotel, Logan's hotel and the
postofhce, were consumed before 1 o'clock
this morning and the flames were still
spreading. The town had no fire depart
msnt and the people were compelled to fight
the flames with buckets of water. The
CONGREGATIONS started at 11:30 O'Clock last
night in Weaver's hotel in the middle of
the town and in an old mill on the out
skirts. John Stewart was caught in the
bursting of tank and was cremated. It
is feared that many have shared a similar
fate. All the business part of the town
has been destroyed and at 1 o'clock this
morning Henry's hotel and the Philadelphia
and Erie depot were burning. The build
ings, being of pine and hemlock, burned
like finder The greatest excitement pre-
walls. The valley is full of fire and seeth-
ing oil and the people, becoming panic
stricken, fed to the hillsides for safety.
There was a brisk southwest wind blowing
and the fire swept over the frame buildings
like whirlwind. The depot of the Phiia-
O0Ipnld anu Erls was Inc only building OF
consequence saved. The area burned over
is about twenty acres. The value of the
buildings destroyed is $4,000 roughly esti-
mated while the insurance is small The
adjusters are now on the ground. Some one
thousand persons are homeless tonight.
Rough lumber is being sent to Clarendon as
fast as possible in order that shelter may be
provided for those burned out. 1t is we'll
established that the fire was of incendiary
origin. Public rumor at Clarendon says
that two weeks ago when liquor licenses.
were refused to all applicants in Warren
county, Mahoney, proprietor OF the Weaver
Hotel, threatened to fire the town
if the decision of the court was not reversed
in two weeks. This morning after the fire
burned out the citizens looked about for Ma
honey, for one of the fires started in his
room in the hotel, but he was not to be
found. A warrant charging him with arson
was sworn out and searching parties secured
the surrounding country to apprehend him.
he was found in the woods six miles from
Clarendon and because 1ynching was feared
he was taken to the Warren Jail. A charred
skeleton was found in one of the rooms of
the hotel and it is supposed to be that of
hack driver named Sullivan, who is missing.
